This is still America - right?
Just my not so humble opinion but it seems to me that LYCON should have offered you a new 12 V starter and given you a refund on your order (yeah, both).
Has LYCON gotten too big or does somebody there just need to get fired? Customer service/satisfaction??? Rejecting your claim and not offering you a check back seems to be wrong. Something is wrong about this whole deal. Don't give up - let them have another chance to make it right. |
I got my Lyc via Vans, and will be checking it tomorrow. Modern QC procedures preclude most errors like this. Very surprising. Sounds like it sat in a warehouse and got scavenged.
I would follow the money in reverse to solve the problems. Good luck - - ! |

12 vs 24volt
Might want to check your alternator if it came with the engine.

Fortunately most people have a great experience with Lycoming direct.
I purchased a factory-remanufactured (zero time) O-235 for a non-RV installation 11 years ago. Absolutely flawless from the day that I purchased it. Really scratching my head about those mags though, because they run the engines prior to shipping, and it's my assumption that the mags that come on the engine are the ones that they use in the initial run. |

their test cell has its own mags . they run the engine then put mags on and ship, ask me how I know this. and if your real lucky they will even throw on a 24v starter for a12v order. just wrog place wrong time on this one. |
Bought my new Lycoming IO-320D1A thru Vans. It has run flawlessly since installation, 2 1/2 years ago. Mags were timed right on.

The Lycoming from Van's still has be baffled with the need but without the inclusion of a Slick Start. Who buys an engine without an impulse coupling these days? I would think Vans would spec their engine with dual impulse coupled mags. Just another, "someone wasn't thinking when they did that" moment like you're dealing with, IMHO.
